SVR President’s Notes
Collin Fat, SVR President
2015 Is Going to Be a Very Busy Year!
Wow, can’t believe how fast January just blew
by and let’s hope as the year proceeds our
events will come at us in a more leisurely
fashion. Judging from the 60 plus members
who attended the January planning meeting
I’m not so sure. According to club stalwart
and legend, Rik Larson, he has not seen
attendance at a planning meeting like this for
some time. It bodes very well for the club and
its members and promises to be a calendar
packed full of activities each month. Rik Larson
led the meeting and the end result was quite
positive. We had 9 members step up to lead
a dinner, tour, or other type of event and this
was in addition to members who submitted
event ideas to Rik well ahead of the meeting.
We even had Alma Thompson step up to take
the chair of the Charity auction! New member
Gary Griffiths stepped up to lead another
multi day Gold Rush Tour to Graeagle, Truckee,
Virginia City and other locales. Howard Wolf
has scheduled a dinner at Los Pinos restaurant
on June 9th, Lisa Okamoto stepped up to do
two events, a 4th of July Parade and a dinner
in October. Hopefully, it will be a Parade of
Porsches! Ruth and Marvin Stark stepped
up to do a dinner in September.
The Willis’s are not only hosting the
annual Christmas Party and a San
Simeon tour in April but I also hear
that Mike is going to commit to a full
season of club autocrossing. Past
Presidents, Tambra Kroetz and
Cookie Anderson are also in the
mix of events on the calendar with
Tambra hosting a dinner at Monk’s
Cellar in March and Cookie organizing her bi annual tour to Eureka
in June, and a Lake Tahoe Tour
in May. Matt and Lisa Menning
are on a roll and with 3 successful
tours completed in 2014 they have
7 scheduled for 2015 including 3
Friday tours. New members Skip
and Mardi Quain have scheduled a
Valentine’s Dinner at McCormick and
Schmick’s in Roseville on February
9th with registration now open. Liz
Houser has a dinner scheduled in
April at Todo Un Poco Bistro and
club treasurer, Janet Conner, has a
dinner on the calendar in July.
In addition to the dinners mentioned
above, we have 4 multi day tours
scheduled, 7 autocrosses, 2 Driver Education
events at Thunderhill Raceway, and the Zone 7
concours in June. I think I probably left an event
out and perhaps did not mention all of the
dinners, so my apologies. For the full calendar
look for it in this edition of the Drifter or check
on line at our website at www.svr-pca.org.
Page 2
I would really like to take this time to thank all
of the members who have stepped up to organize an event for 2015 and it really looks like
it will be a gangbuster year for SVR! Just one
note, if you were not able to attend the planning
meeting in January and have a great idea for
a dinner, wine tour or other get together, give
Suzanne Sanders, our social director, a call to
see if we can fit your event in.
January Board Meeting:
I conducted my first board meeting in January
and invited all of the event and committee
chairs to attend in addition to several new
board members. Event chairs in attendance
were, Kim Nelson, Linda Bradford, Mike
Dunn, Larry Wilson, Rik Larson, and
Cookie Anderson. We managed to get a lot of
business completed in addition to an executive
review of the yearend financials that were presented by club treasurer, Janet Conner. I am
happy to report that the club’s finances are in
good order and we are poised to continue that
trend into 2015. Tim Howard presented his
2015 autocross budget, which was approved
Rauch reported he has 27 drivers signed up
for his HPDE 101 ground school in January
and that he will be opening up registration for
the March DE by the time this Drifter is posted.
Vice president, Eduardo Ortega Jr., thanked
outgoing VP Rik Larson for his efforts in organizing the January planning meeting and one
of the busiest years in recent memory. Mike
Dunn, our new advertising manager, reported
that Bertolucci’s Body and Fender Shop has
just agreed to place a full page ad in the Drifter
and that he has a program he is developing to
bring more business opportunities to all of our
advertisers. New board member, Bill Fargo,
reported that his transition to our webmaster is
going smoothly and made some brief remarks
about the club’s twitter account! Who over 60
years old uses twitter or facebook! Bill encourages all of us to start if we want to attract
younger members to the club.
For a complete detail of the board, see the
posted minutes in this issue. Again, all of SVR
members are invited to attend the monthly
board meetings and to see the board in action.

large capital expenses this year including the
purchase of new tires for the timing trailer and
a fairly big expense of purchasing another half
dozen helmets at the end of the year to comply
with new helmet certification rules. Frederick
The Job of Vice President
Eduardo Ortega Jr., SVR Vice President
As I begin my term as Vice President, there are
many ideas that flash through my mind. This
is a new position for me, and I am studying
the different responsibilities this position
demands all the time. It is notable that this
year will mark my fifth anniversary belonging
to the Sacramento Valley Region, and out of
these five years, I was not serving in the board
only during my first year. As I have mentioned
before in the New Member’s Group Tours that I
have attended as member of the board, I first
heard of the invitation to serve in the board
in my very own new member tour in 2011,
spoken by then new member chair Lee Deter.
I felt an emotional reaction to the invitation,
and I spoke with him right at that moment
telling him that I was interested. Now, after
having served as Social Director in 2012 and
2013, and Secretary in 2014, I would have
never imagined the route I was going to travel
once I decided to serve in the board. I made
the central point of my candidate statement
for Vice President that I wanted to promote
more members volunteering to serve on the
board, especially new members. Fear not about
volunteering, since we have a large number of
wonderful people that will teach you the ropes
of any board position. So, I will keep planting
the seed in everyone’s mind, to please consider
serving in the board in the very near future.
For the business at hand, the duties of the
Vice President are clearly described in the SVR
By-Laws. Five duties are required, in summary
they are:
• To preside at meetings when the President
is absent
• To assist the President or the Board when
they require it
• To keep and maintain the official SVR
calendar of events
• To manage national PCA insurance requirements for SVR events
• To secure sponsorships of events and
advertising for the Drifter
The By-Laws describe the duties in an extremely concise manner. What the By-Laws cannot
describe is the emotional, human contact
element of this position. The President and Vice
President form a very strong working team. The
Vice President must be able to represent the
President in a moment’s notice, and similarly to
the role in politics, the Vice President supports
the President’s Agenda (that is why they both
form a working team!). A job aspect that has
evolved from when the By-Laws were written is
the role of securing advertisers. In our current
times SVR has an Advertising Manager, which
is an appointed chair position. With this help,
the Vice President relies on the Advertising
Manager for this aspect of the job. For 2015
we have a new Advertising Manager, Mike
Dunn. Another job requirement is keeping the
official SVR calendar of events. By doing this,
the Vice President works closely with the Social
Director, Autocross Chair, Driver Education
Chair, and Rally Chair for coordination with the
scheduling of events. Hand-in-hand with keeping
the calendar is the task of securing insurance
for the events from national PCA. And with the
overall involvement with club members outside
of SVR, there is also occasional involvement
with other PCA regions and Zone 7 events.
A singular aspect of holding the job of Vice
President is that this position is a very good
training ground for someone to eventually
become President. The ideal path to becoming
President is for a person to have held different
board positions, including Vice President,
to gain a broad level of experience that will
help the candidate to become a well-rounded
President.
I am very happy to be holding this office right
now. At this moment I am learning all that I can
about this job, and I aspire to get some good
experience working on this position. 2015 is
shaping to be an outstanding year, with many
club dinners, multiple single day tours, three
multi-day tours, a complete autocross event
series, and even two driver education events
scheduled at Thunderhill. Thank you to all of
you for the support you have given me all these
years and I wish our entire SVR membership an
outstanding 2015 year!
Editor’s Corner
Steve McCrory, SVR Drifter Editor
The Write Stuff
In this issue, you’ll find an updated listing of
new board members and committee chairs, an
updated calendar, and details about upcoming
SVR, Zone 7 and National PCA events. From
social events to Tours and Competition, it’s all
here. There are enough events to keep us all
involved in enjoying our favorite cars, and our
favorite car club.
Our new Vice President, Eduardo Ortega,
Jr. tells us about his experience with SVR,
and his role in keeping the club moving in the
right direction. The recent Planning and Pizza
meeting revealed two things. Sacramento
Valley Region has a very full and varied Event
Calendar, and secondly, both new members
and veteran members are stepping up to host
events for 2015.
The Drifter, in conjunction with our region
website, is here to promote your upcoming
events, provide details and contact information,
and share the story of completed events with
events are scheduled for March 7th and 8th,
2015 in Southern California.
the club’s membership. The event will first
be listed in the Calendar and your event flyer
will be printed in the Drifter in the lead up to
the event, usually 30 to 60 days out. Need
advice or help designing the flyer? Just ask.
Include details such as cost, deadline, and
RSVP information. For most events, a follow-up
article is desirable, written by the event leader,
or a person they designate. If you’re likely
to get writer’s cramp as the Drifter deadline
approaches, create an outline soon after your
event, and fill in the details as you have time.
And don’t forget to include photos. Photos
help tell the story of the event, and if you think
your photo is worthy of a Drifter front cover,
remember to use a portrait mode that favors
a vertical placement. If you think you’ll be too
busy shepherding the event group to take
photos, ask someone ahead of time to take
them as your event proceeds.
Our cover shot for February is provided by
Bob Cannon, and was taken last year at the LA
Literature and Toy Show. That show and related
In other news, Team Drifter is selecting its best
issues to submit to PCA National for the Annual
Newsletter Contest. Recent rule changes give
extra recognition to PCA Regions who print a
hard copy newsletter as well as providing an
electronic version. The hard copy is available
by subscription for 15 dollars a year, and who
doesn’t need the latest Drifter on the coffee
table close at hand? Contact Richard Walker to
subscribe to the Drifter. Mike Dunn is our new
Advertising Manager and will be working with
our sponsors who support the Club.
Welcome back to our Historian Larry Wilson,
who has agreed to revive his Drifting Back
column, a look back at the history of SVR
events. His articles will resume with the January
2016 issue of the Drifter and be a look back
15 years and cover SVR events from 2001.
Also welcome Skip Quain as our new Tech
Chairman. Skip will provide technical articles
for the Drifter. As always your comments,
questions, and story ideas are welcome and
appreciated.

Rennsport Reunion V date change!! Yes,
they (Porsche) have changed the Monterey
(Laguna Seca) dates to September 25-27.
So my hotel room jumped from $180 per
night to $380 per night for the new dates,
but now they require prepayment and is
non-refundable and no date changes allowed. I am now looking for another place
to stay. And those that already purchased
tickets (and campsites) for the original
dates are going “What the …………..?”.
I guess this means that if you have already
booked your trip on the Treffen that occurs
at the same time as the new date, you
have to make a decision.
Frederick Rauch reports he had 35
people attend the introduction to HPDE
(High Performance Driver Education) on
January 24th. SVR is presenting two DEs
this year. The first one is Friday, March
20th at Thunderhill Raceway. Signups for
SVR members by February 5th will get
you a reduced rate. See the information
elsewhere in this issue.
And as predicted, the 60th anniversary of
PCA is being featured with the unveiling of
60 special 2015 911 GTS Club Coupes.
You sign up for the lottery to get one of
these cars. You have to be a PCA member.
The same thing was done in 2005 for
the 50th anniversary of PCA when 50
cars were made available (also with a
lottery). Information is on the PCA website
at www.pca.org. There is no charge for
the opportunity to register, and there is
no obligation to purchase the vehicle.
Deliveries will start in June 2015.
Alma and Gary Thompson have volunteered to be the chairs for the annual charity auction (October 18th at the Nelson’s
home). I was pleasantly surprised at the
SVR Planning and Pizza meeting at the
number of people who volunteered to help
Alma. As an additional note, 66 people
attended the planning meeting.
The January SVR Board meeting had a
large attendance (that is what happens
when you invite everyone that is listed on
page 1 of the Drifter). An interesting stat
noted by President Collin Fat was the presence of 7 (count’em) SVR Past Presidents
at the meeting. Can you identify them (see
the minutes elsewhere in this issue)?
The Niello Porsche facility in Rocklin is
almost done with their showroom and
service area remodel. Check out the
changes in the later part of February. And
I bet the staff will be glad to get out of the
trailers that they have been operating out
of since the end of October.
Drifter Editor Steve McCrory, pointed
me to a very nice write-up on the 50th

anniversary special edition 911 (which was
unveiled at the Porsche Parade in 2013 at
Traverse City, Michigan). It was written by
a BMW owner and covers 5 pages in the
January issue of Roundel, the BMW Club
monthly magazine (the equivalent of the
Panorama). The author provides a great
and general history of the 911s from the
very beginning, right up to the present. He
did a great job of contrasting the various
technical aspects of the two marques. And
the author really likes his Porsche.
What are these rumors that I hear about a
CRAB 36?
The 60th Porsche Parade information is
up on their website (parade2015.pca.org).
Registration opens March 17th. This will
be a different Parade that the one held
in Monterey as everyone can stay at one
of the two hotels (same owners) that are
right next to each other. French Lick/West
Baden is an old retreat and resort that has
had a $650 million restoration. It was a
place that a lot of folks from the Chicago
area would go for a retreat. It has a lot
of family activities available. Should be a
great week.
A couple of regions in Zone 7 are having
big anniversaries. Loma Prieta Region (San
Jose area) is having their 45th Anniversary
Celebration on March 14th. Cost is $60
a person but if you register by February
14th, it will cost you just $45 (get it?). It
includes a hosted bar of wine, beer, and
champagne. Sierra Nevada Region is
holding their 50th anniversary weekend on
May 15th - 17th. Details on that event are
coming.
And speaking of Sierra Nevada Region,
they have announced that the PCA Escape
in 2016 (probably September) will be held
at the Resort at Squaw Creek (that means
Squaw Valley to me). Looks like a great
place. The PCA Escapes typically have no
competitive events. They feature tours and
several dinners………….very low key. A
real chance to see the area.
There is a rumor floating around that DMV
is going to be providing license plates of
the 1960’s format for you that have cars
of that era. You remember those ----- black
background with yellow lettering. A search
of the DMV website does not list them as
being available yet…………keep looking.
A rallye that has been running annually
for 51 years? Yes, the “April Fools Rallye”
by Empire Sports Car Association (Santa
Rosa area) is again presenting an “A-B
Rally” that is open to all types of cars.
A number of SVR members have been
running this event for years. How can you
not run an event when the rallymaster
•
•
is “Bob the Beard”? The website (sonic.
net/~thebeard/) has all the information,
a practice A/B Map rallye there, and also
a picture of Richard Wetzel and Delores
McKinnon with their yellow Boxster on the
home page. It is being held on Sunday,
April 12th.
A steering wheel explained? The November
2014 PDK column had a photo of a steering wheel with 24 buttons and switches,
six paddles, and a display screen. Well,
Porsche has provided an explanation of
each that is featured on the “back page” of
the April 2015 edition of excellence.
The January 2015 issue of The Wheel
featured a look at “Racing Spyders” in the
early 50’s in California. The San Francisco
Region of SCCA publication had a two
page spread that featured the Porsche
550 Spyder.

20 years ago - February 1995
At the February 8, 1995 SVR Board
meeting, approval was given to Mike Willis
to create a web page for the region. That
is when it started………you read it here.
The Sutter Street Stomp walking tour of
old town Folsom by Tambra Kroetz was a
big success.
A tour to Carmel/Monterey that was
chaired by Wayne and Louise Sauseda was
a smashing success and included a visit to
the Monterey Aquarium.
A flyer for CRAB XIV was included in the
February Drifter. The Willis’s said that the
cost was $70 per couple and would be
headquartered at the Red Lion (now the
DoubleTree). Events included: gymkana,
autocross, tour, children’s Trike-A-Cross,
Crabbiest car contest, all you can eat
crabfeed, rally, and the beer and bratwurst
feed.
In the “Peddler’s Pack” we found a 1983
944 for sale for $23,500 -- FIRM. It had
17,000 miles on it. Contact Bob Prinzo.
(Note: the Prinzo’s were on the Mendocino
Tour this past November. They now hail
from Santa Barbara Region).
It was interesting to note that Niello was
not yet an advertiser in the newsletter.
The 1st Zone 7 Awards Banquet was held
in Walnut Creek. Twelve SVR members
were honored with autocross awards.
They included: Jim and Joyce Karver,
Fred and Nancy Myeron, Arnold and Trish
O’Shields, Ted Colbert, Dave and Chrissie
Neukom, Harvey Cain, Linda Laws, and
Stephanie Morgan.
The Son of Low Bucks Autocross and
Drivers School was offered as a tune up
for CRAB IV.
Autocross News
Tim Howard, SVR Autocross Chair
Autocross Timing Trailer. On January 21,
sixteen volunteers cleaned out and completed a
thorough inventory to prepare the club’s trailer
for this year’s busy autocross
series. It is a routine annual task
that takes a lot of work too and
well worth it to ensure all safety
equipment and necessary supplies
are accounted for and operational.
I am glad I did not have to resort
to a little arm twisting to get
volunteers. This is what makes this
club so fun to be part of; everyone
contributes and we have fun in
the process. Thanks to Collin and
Elaine Fat for hosting the party and
everyone else who did a great job.
It was a good day followed up with
a pot luck lunch.
Autocross Schools. There will be
three autocross schools hosted
by three regions this year: SVR
at Niello Porsche and Stockton on
March 21 and 28, respectively;
Zone 7 (Loma Prieta) at Marina airport on April 4 and 5; and, GGR at
Alameda Naval Air Station, Alameda
on August 29 and 30. Check out
their respective websites for details
and registration information.

Autocrosses in Zone 7. There
are at least thirty-two (32) PCA
autocrosses hosted by four regions this year.
Oh my, if autocrossing is in your blood, this
is the year to go to as many as you desire.
Sacramento Valley is having 7 held at San
Joaquin County fairgrounds; Redwood is
hosting 9 at Santa Rosa Airport; Loma Prieta
is putting on 8 at Marina airport; and, Golden
Gate with 8 at Alameda. I heard that the west
coast of the USA has more autocrosses than
anywhere else in the world! We are very lucky
to have so many venues in northern California
that we have to choose from.
SVR Autocross Awards and Recognition.
This year, SVR will add two new autocross
year-end awards in 2015: Rookie(s) of the Year
and Most Improved Driver(s).
Odd and Ends...
In Christophorus, no. 369, there was an
article, “WHERE THE MUSIC COMES FROM”.
In it, there was a quote by Dr. Bernhard Pfäffin
that I would like to repeat: “As soon as the feel
for the engine load is clearly and unambiguously transmitted to the driver, he (she) drives
better and is usually (always) happier as well.”
My parenthesis added. I like that saying and
understand what he means and sure you feel
the same. I guess that is one of the reasons
why I own and drive a Porsche!
PCA Competition Rules (PCR s) 2015. The
class changes and/or additions to various
new automobiles have been approved along
with the change in requiring any manufactured
transmission in the Modified Category. The roll
bar requirement passed but with some slight
changes. Since PCA Club Race has dropped
their allowance of roll bars, we have decided
to tailor our rule to match the PCA Drivers
Education minimum requirements and will add
an appendix with necessary roll bar specifica-
tions. The limit on treadwear for 2015 has
been approved but will be set at 140 minimum
for Production Category (Showroom Stock
Category remains at 140 minimum). R-rated
tires (less than 140 treadwear) on automobiles
will be required to run in the Improved Category. The only exception here would be for
automobiles as delivered from the factory with
less than 140 treadwear. These SS Category
automobiles will be allowed to run in their respective Production Category classes provided
no other alterations have been made to the
automobile and they are using the N-spec tires
specified by Porsche for that year and model;
otherwise they will be required to run in the
Improved Category with all other R-rated tired
automobiles. We will continue to monitor the
tire manufactures treadwear ratings and in the
future will consider raising the 140 minimum
in both SS and Production Categories to 180
or above and possibly tying it to the required
N-spec for SS Category automobiles.

Upcoming Events - Close Ups...
The Los Angeles “Porsche Weekend”
March 6-8
Although not an SVR or PCA event, 2015 will
be the 32nd year of the Literature and Toy Meet,
to be held Saturday March 7th. In 2014, almost
2,000 people attended the annual Porsche and
Vintage VW Literature, Toy/Model, & Memorabilia Swap Meet at the Los Angeles Airport
Hilton Hotel.
The meet had over 300 tables with tens of
thousands of collectibles—posters, sales
brochures, toys, models, factory gift items,
press kits, technical literature, small trim items,
and accessories for Porsches and vintage VWs.
The meet is held in two
huge ballrooms on the main
floor of the Airport Hilton,
5711 W. Century Blvd., Los
Angeles—very close by
Los Angeles International
Airport. The public is admitted at 9:00 a.m. for $10
each at the door. “Earlybird”
shoppers are admitted with
the vendors at 7:00 a.m.
for $30 at the door. Special Tony Garcia of Autobahn Interiors displaying his products at the LA

The 60th Annual Porsche Parade
T
he Porsche Club of America cordially
invites you to attend our 60th Annual
Porsche Parade Celebration in French
Lick Indiana from June 21-27, 2015. Our 60th
Parade coincides with the Club’s 60th Anniversary Celebration, and we’re planning a series
of special events at French Lick that will pay
tribute to the cars and people who have made
us the greatest single marque sports car club
in the world. The 60th Parade will rightfully
pay homage to the members and events of our
past, but will also celebrate the Club’s newest enthusiasts who will shape our future.
Parade Registration will open to PCA members
on Tuesday, March 17, 2015 at 12 Noon EDT.
The best place to read about Parade activities
is parade2015.pca.org
For the first time in recent memory, we have
not one, but TWO resort properties awaiting
your visit, both listed in the National Register
of Historic Places. The 3,000 acre compound
also features three golf courses and a world
class spa at each facility.
The French Lick Springs Hotel, established in
1832 and the larger of the two resorts, will be
host to many of our familiar Parade activities.
This city and the resort were named for an
early French fur trading outpost and nearby
salt lick. They recently completed a 600 million
dollar restoration, bringing many comfortable
present day amenities to surroundings that are
authentic to the mid-19th century when the current facility was built. It is perhaps most known
for their medicinal springs – “Pluto Mineral
Water”. The actual spring is still part of their
landscape, and the Gardens nearby will host
our Welcome Party as well as various activities
throughout the week.
For those of you who are new to Parade, you
need to register for Parade on the PCA or
Parade website before getting access to the
codes necessary to hold your room. Therefore,
we recommend browsing all necessary information prior to opening day so you’re ready to go.
You’ll need to know what events you want to
enter, as well as which hotel is your preference.
The registration guide will be on the Parade
website by March 1st.
Known as the 8th wonder of the world, and
just down the street, you’ll find the West Baden
Springs Hotel. This resort is home to the most
breathtaking feature of our combined facilities
this year; a free-span dome, the largest in the
world until the Houston Astrodome was built
in the 1960’s. An architectural marvel, this
breathtaking Atrium will host our Concours and
Victory banquets.
We will have our full complement of competitive events: Concours, TSD Rally, Autocross
(at the nearby French Lick airport), and Tech
Quiz. Add to that the Tours, Gimmick Rally,
Golf Tournament, Art Show, Michelin Drive and
Compare, Kids’ events, Tech Academy, cooking
school, 5K run/walk, Parade of Porsches and
more – you’ll be kept busy!
Our Concours will be held a few steps through
the covered bridge from the north end of the
French Lick property. Rallies will depart from
the grounds of the West Baden, and banquets
will be held on both properties. The Parade
60th year museum, Hospitality, Goodie Store,
seminars and many meetings will be at French
Lick. Both resorts have lots of parking and car
wash stations.

Le Mans 2015: Porsche In It To Win It!
By Tim Cronin, SVR Member
Photos by Porsche Media
I
t has been said that “Actions speak louder
than words.”
If that is the case, Porsche’s intentions with regard to its participation in this year’s 24-Hours
of Le Mans, as well as the FIA World Endurance
Championship (WEC), have been announced in
a manner that is nothing short of deafening and
blunt: Weissach is unequivocally in it to win it.
Less than a week after the number 14 Porsche
919 took first place over-all at the Six Hours of
Sao Paulo, Weissach announced the entry of
a third, second generation Porsche 919 in the
LMP1 class of 2015’s 24-Hours of Le Mans.
Prior to the fabled June 13-14 event, this third
919 will be entered in the May 2nd six-hour
WEC race at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit in
Belgium as a shake-down for the event at the
Sarthe.
A few days later, Porsche signed Formula 1
driver Nico Hulkenberg as its first stint driver
for the third 919 LMP1 hybrid at Le Mans.
The depth of Porsche’s commitment to a
Le Mans victory may be demonstrated by
Weissach’s ability to engineer an agreement
with the Formula 1 team of Sahara Force India,
Hulkenberg’s primary employer, to “loan” him to
Porsche as the 2015 Formula 1 calendar may
allow for it.
The 27-year-old German will be the first
active Formula One driver since 2009 to take
the starting stint of the 24-hour event. As a
predicate to the race at Le Mans, Hulkenberg
will race the second generation 919 prototype
in the six-hour race at Spa. Significantly, Hulkenberg’s best Grand Prix result was a fourth place
in 2012 for Force India at the Belgian Grand
Prix at Spa-Francorchamps, where he will have
his race debut with the Porsche 919. Nor will
this be his first experience with a Porsche
Hybrid competition car; in 2010, Hulkenberg
tested Porsche’s 911 GT3-R hybrid on the
Nürburgring Nordschleife.
Hulkenberg’s ability to integrate with the other
two drivers of the third 919 is of extreme
importance in endurance racing. For a Formula
1 driver it is an unusual situation to accept that
his own results are the sum of three drivers’
performance. Accordingly, Porsche has a road
map in place to enable Hulkenberg to exploit
his driving abilities at his Le Mans debut, and is
actively preparing him for his new challenges
such as dealing with the traffic of the slower GT
cars and racing into the Le Mans night.
That preparation included a three-day test in
Aragon, Spain, from this past December 9th
through the 11th, with the 919. It was the first
time Hülkenberg had got behind the wheel of
the 2014 Le Mans LMP1 prototype and he also
had his first night drive. Additionally, two of
the regular LMP1 drivers, Timo Bernhard and
Brendon Hartley participated along with three
Porsche works drivers from the GT squad –
Michael Christensen, Frédéric Makowiecki and
Nick Tandy. For each of the three GT drivers it
Cutaway of the 911 GT3-R hybrid competition car
Page 16
was their second time testing the LMP1 car. In
total the drivers covered 1,715 miles [2,731
km] between Tuesday and Thursday evening,
equating to 516 laps of the 3.35 mile-long
track.
There is no final decision yet about the driver
line-up for the third 919. However, for the two
919s taking part in the entire WEC championship series, the current works drivers of the
2014 squad, Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas,
Brendon Hartley, Neel Jani, Marc Lieb and Mark
Webber, have been confirmed to continue for
2015.
that will be campaigned in 2015 is significantly
up-graded and reportedly appreciably faster
than its progenitor.
In addition to the company’s commitment to
the LMP1 program, Porsche will also campaign
two factory 911 RSRs in the WEC world
championship. According to Wolfgang Hatz, the
Porsche AG Board Member for Research and
at the Sarthe. One of Dempsey’s teammates
will be fellow Californian Patrick Long, the
Porsche factory driver with whom Dempsey
also trains while away from the race track.
For many years Porsche’s American customers
have been able to rely on Patrick Long, as
well as Wolf Henzler, demonstrating a level of
commitment and support by Porsche that is
not seen in any other race series anywhere, not
Two days after completion of the Aragon testing, Porsche rolled-out the second generation
of its 919 Le Mans LMP1 prototype for the first
time at the company’s test track in Weissach.
Everything on the 919 is dedicated to the
dictate of extreme efficiency with maximum
performance, including both the aerodynamics
and the selection of carbon fiber materials for
its lightweight construction.
Perhaps the most spectacular aspect of
the 919 is the power train concept with its
extremely compact two liter, four-cylinder turbo
engine conjoined with two energy recovery systems. FIA has mandated that the drive systems
of LMP1 vehicles entered by car manufacturers
must be hybrid in design. The rules, however,
do not specify the “how’” this is to be achieved;
the number of cylinders, cubic inch capacity,
choice of diesel or gasoline, etc., are all left up
to the manufacturers.
FIA’s limiting factor is the amount of power
available per lap. That applies both to the
amount of fossil fuel as well as to the amount
of electrical power that can be drawn from the
energy recovery systems. On the 919 the energy recovery system consists of liquid-cooled
lithium-ion battery cells, which are fed from two
systems: during braking, kinetic energy gets
converted at the front axle into electric current,
while at the back usable electric power is
gained from exhaust energy.
This recuperation of thermodynamic exhaust
energy has been unique to Porsche in the LMP1
field for the WEC. In this approach an additional
turbine generator set practically replaces the
turbocharger’s waste gate. Porsche makes
use of this excess exhaust gas: it drives a
second turbine and thus also a generator that
produces electric power. Previously lost energy
is now put to good use. Due to the exhaust
gas energy recovery system, the Porsche 919
hybrid had been the only car in the field that
regenerates energy not only when braking, but
when accelerating as well.
Just how much of this Porsche-developed
advanced technology will be “high-graded”
by competitors Audi and Toyota in 2015 due
to the exposure of the first generation 919’s
technology during the 2014 season remains to
be seen. However, the second generation 919

will share the two RSRs. However, Hatz has
stated that he definitive driver combinations will
depend on which driver rises from the ranks of
the current GT drivers to take a seat in the third
LMP1 racer.
Notwithstanding the scope of its Le Mans
prototype-related efforts, Porsche has also
manifested its on-going commitment to a
strategy of not focusing solely on top level
competition, but simultaneously continuing
to the development of customer racing at
Le Mans as a vital part of Porsche’s 2015
rennsport success.
During 2015 customer racing support will
continue to enjoy a high priority at Porsche,
providing its customer teams with its Weissachdeveloped GT cars such as the 470 hp
Porsche 911 RSR. Weissach will also continue
to provide its customer teams with reinforcement by contributing legitimate “werks” drivers.
The importance of this strong customer teams
has again been exemplified by Porsche’s
continuation of the successful alliance between
Porsche and Dempsey Proton Racing in the
GTE-Am class. Patrick Dempsey, who has
finished fourth in the GTE-Am class at Le Mans,
will tackle the 2015 WEC season at the wheel
of a Porsche 911 RSR, including 24-hour race
even in Formula 1. Dempsey Proton is a prime
example of this successful driver and technology transfer.
Moreover, heading into the Tudor United
SportsCar Championship’s (USCC) second
season, Porsche aims to defend its USCC
Manufacturer’s Championship title with a
factory entry of a pair of 911 RSRs. At the
season-opening 24 Hours of Daytona, Earl
Bamber will join forces with the seasoned
specialists Frédéric Makowiecki and Jörg
Bergmeister in the number 911 RSR, as well
as Nick Tandy, Patrick Pilet, and LMP1 regular
Marc Lieb who will share driving duties in the
number 912 RSR.
Weissach has made an unequivocal commitment to factory and customer racing,
manifesting that motorsport is deeply rooted
in the Porsche marque. More importantly, that
commitment also manifests that motorsport
is more than an end in itself - it is the incubator for technologies that are relevant to the
customer on the street.

Guidelines for submission of material to
Articles
Event flyers
Photographs
Please submit articles as a Microsoft Word document or in plain text format. While we can accept PDF files,
it adds extra steps for the editors to get the material out for for editing. Most articles should run about 2 to
3 pages of single spaced text. We will reformat and edit your article anyway, no matter how pretty it looks,
so please send it in correctly the first time.
We can accept either Word or PDF formats, but Word is preferred. Space limitations in the Drifter currently
limit event flyers to ½ page; full page flyers will automatically be re-formatted into a ½ page size. Don’t fret
over creating a “killer design” event flyer; just send us the basic details and we will do the rest.
Photographs add significant quality and interest to most articles. We would like to have a number of your
photographs to accompany your articles, although space limitations and editorial decisions may not permit
all of them to be published. Whenever possible, the photographer who took the picture will be credited when
the information is available. For any photograph submitted to the Drifter, it must be in the largest size (with
the most pixels) possible! This means the actual size as it comes off your camera, computer, phone, iPad or
whatever. If you email it to us from your computer or phone, use “actual size” for emailing, not photos which
have been reduced in size for quick email transmission. Photographs taken off of a website generally won’t
work for our print publication because of their small size. If you send photographs on a CD, save them in the
largest size possible. JPEG, TIFF or Photoshop (PSD) formats are all OK.
Embedded photos in Microsoft Word are
fine to accompany your articles, as long as
you send us the “full size” versions as well.
Sorry, but we can’t accept a Word file with
only embedded photos in the text.
Your reporter on the street (me) decided during the
winter to show the 1987 Porsche 944 in the Zone 7
Concours series. The last time Steve and I
participated was with a 1967 911 in the Competition
Category way back in the last decade.
Loma Prieta and
Parts Heaven
hosted the first
Zone Concours
Sunday, June 2, 2013. This Concours also features a
swap meet which was well attended by many who needed
just that special part that is no longer made. I was too
busy cleaning to take advantage of the swap meet though.
As I did the last dusting of the car, I thought there must be something that makes these people
show up every year with clean cars. So I decided to ask some of the participants why they do
this..........and what they hope for in a Judge.
Top Ten Reasons why Porsche people show a car at a Concours more than once and their
wish list for a Judge.
10. I washed the car twice, why not?
9. I want the Judge's fingers to be bigger than mine.
8. I show up because I am in charge, and I have a new car so why not?
7. I wanted to see how my car placed relative to the other crazy people.
6. It gets me out of the house on Sunday.
To be continued after Sacramento Valley Region Niello Concours on June 16, 2013. You too
can get a chance to participate in the top ten. Just look for the Almond Beige Metallic 1987
Porsche 944 - - - and have your answers ready.
Redwood Region Cars........................waiting to be Judged
John Jackson's 911
Bob Schoenherr's 914
We would like to use photographs on the entire
cover page whenever possible. Photographs
taken in the “portrait mode” lend themselves to a
full cover shot better than other formats. If you
would like us to consider your photograph for the
cover of the Drifter, please consider taking it in
“portrait mode” as opposed to the more common
“landscape mode”. Again, the photographs must
be sent in the largest version possible to give a
proper size image for the cover.
Email us
“portrait mode”
Example of a Microsoft
Word file with photographs
embedded in the text. If you
use this feature to illustrate
your article or provide
captions for photographs,
be sure to send “actual size”
versions of the pictures as
well!
“landscape mode”
Please submit photos and articles to:
[email protected]
The same address may be used for help or questions; we are here to assist! If you need to talk to someone,
check the Drifter for the current phone number for the editor.
